Abstract:
Experiments on rat model of stress-induced gastric ulcers revealed marked circulatory disturbances in ulcerated gastric mucosa associated with arteriolar spasm and venous congestion and leading to perivascular edema, diapedesis of erythrocytes, and microhemorrhages. These changes were most pronounced on day 1 after ulcer modeling and progressively decreased during healing (day 14-21). On day 3, arterial hyperemia developed against the background of venous congestion, which was probably related to progressive repair. Serotonin adipinate administered after ulcer modeling accelerated the development of arterial hyperemia (day 1) and reduced venous congestion and extravascular changes. Pretreatment with serotonin was even more effective in attenuating venous congestion and extravascular changes.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
